Magazine Rejection

It would very heroic of me not to care about getting "slushed." Editors of big literary reviews consider themselves big people. Congratulations. You have been trained to find flaw, you have been trained to reject what you have not been tauught to apdikpreciate, you have been taught to dislike what you yourself have no written. This is the source of bad reviews.

Let provide an example.

A dear friend of mine recently got a review fom Kirkus. True to Krikus frm the review was bitchy, which makes me fgure this the following:

the reviewer is probably a failed writer, the reviewer can't hack rejection so he/she smacks down on writer who can write; an intern got shafzed with reviewing another book.

Please correct my grammar, Kirkus reviewer. Yes, you are a trade journal. One of the big four. When my book comes out, review it so I can get the standard abuse.

If the review were worth anything then the reviews would be accompanied by by-lines. Since this is not the case,then yyour entire staff should be considered at fault and at risk.
